Putting a face to a name
Comments (75)Thank you, Mike! I'm glad you're recovering, and typing straight again! ;) You are right...many a bird hath met its end here... My cats are criminals. They left me a bird on the doormat two days ago. A nice little bird, too. I wish they would only hunt the blue jays that scream outside my window in the morning...and the woodpeckers and the magpies... Ashley, good luck with the Money Tree! They can be fickle at times, but overall I think they're worth it. Let me know how your rooting goes, as I'd like to propagate the same way. I know they can be grown from a single leaf, in a cup of soil without drainage....but that takes a long time to produce a plant of good size. I'd like to root larger cuttings if possible - which really means that I'd like to behead my plant to make it more squat and compact, as well as grow the healthy tip-cutting into a new plant. Oh, almost forgot! I dug the avocado out of the garden finally! I'm not sure if it will survive, but I have my fingers crossed. Half of the avocado seed fell off the roots, so it's going to be a gamble. I also noticed how woody the avocado's roots are - not a lot of fine root hairs to be seen. And I noticed - when I pruned the tap-root - that the roots have a pleasant, faintly spicy smell to them. I have pics of the process to sort and upload. Should I post them in the Houseplant Forum? Something like, Converting Avocado to Houseplant? Or I can e-mail the pics directly. Josh...See MoreHighly-Fragrant Plants--let's list our favorites!
Comments (52)My faves...... *Nicotiana alata (common evening flowering white) *Datura inoxia *Matthiola incana (started blooming in 90+ degree temps!) *Clarkia elegans (Clarkia amoena does not have a fragrance) *Lilac *Blue Elderberry (Sambucus mexicana).....Native to Eastern WA. I'm scoping out seeds around the corner from me...empty lot. It's a matter of getting them before the birds do though LOL! They are still in flower and smells soooo heavenly :O *Common Milkweed (give it it's own area!) I've been yanking out runners this year 15' away from the mother plant...runners didn't start until year 4! *Phlox paniculata As far as foul smelling: *Pelargonium x hortorum *Ginkgo biloba....steer clear of females; their fruit are extremely foul smelling!! *Ligustrum obtusifolium (Privet) *Juniper (I think it smells of cat urine) Of course most herbs, however there is no smell until leaves or flowers(of some) are crushed,rubbed, etc. Some people think Catmint smells like cat urine. Not sure which Nepeta they have, but mine sure smells much more pleasant than that LOL!...See MoreNice to put a face to people

Comments (22)Another great thread! Instant grins for me are many...looking at my furbaby, watching our tortoise when she's not in hibernation, watching nature in general, and of course seeing my son's face anytime...just to mention a few. Reading vala's sign sure just did...lol!...See MoreJan Sword-Rossman Realty 239-470-6061
